Paris Saint-Germain manager Carlo Ancelotti says he expects midfielder Thiago Motta to be sidelined for at least a month.

The midfielder was stretchered off and looked in some pain, leaving Italy down to 10 men having made all three changes and exposed to a ruthless Spain side who were winning 2-0 at the time and went on to register a 4-0 triumph.

Motta's preparations for the new Ligue 1 season will now be disrupted by his recovery from the injury.

"It was a dangerous injury behind the thigh," Ancelotti said.

"It's dangerous but that's normal. I think he cannot train for at least a month."

Motta will not return to his club until late July, along with PSG goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu, who was also a member of Italy's Euro 2012 squad.
